Tatiana with her son IgorPhoto: personal archiveMom became 19 years old. “Early motherhood is good, I see only advantages in it. First of all, being a young creature, you are not particularly aware of all the responsibility that has fallen down, but you are doing everything on a whim. In adult years, women, before giving birth, begin to estimate: there is no money, an apartment, a children's room, etc. And when you are young, you don’t bother with everyday things. Of course, if mommy raises a child alone, then she has certain difficulties. For example, she wants to sit with her friends in a cafe, and there is no one to leave the child with. I had no such problems. I was helped by numerous grandparents, so I didn’t feel deprived of anything and managed to do everything. Well, in my opinion, the feeling of responsibility for a child does not depend on age. This is a character trait, and it either is, or it is not. In my case, the child not only did not interfere - he was an incentive to do something both in everyday and professional ways. Despite my youth, I was a very responsible mom. Now I have an adult son, quite an independent person: he lives separately, since 19 years he has been renting an apartment. We are friends, communicate, call up, socialize in social networks. I believe that children should be released on time and not cling to them. I am sure that a person grows up only when his parents let him go into adulthood. ”
